À propos de cet audio

 #1 New York Times bestseller • #1 Washington Post bestseller • #1 Indie Bestseller • USA Today Bestseller

John Green, award-winning author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease.

AN ACCLAIMED BEST BOOK OF 2025: NPR, Scientific American, Science News, Booklist, BookPage, Chicago Sun-Times. Goodreads Readers’ Choice Nonfiction Winner.

Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.

In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

Honestly the reason I didn’t give it 5/5 is a bit my fault. I expected more formal science text and less a story. I should’ve known better as John is a literary author first. Once I got around that I really enjoyed it

Not a science book but a story

John Green is both an excellent narrator AND author. This book is heartwarming and compelling and absolutely, 100% horrible. If you read this and aren't moved to tears then I don't know what to tell you.

Green’s loyalty to improving the human condition along with his critical examination of the current situation, backed by data, is an inspiring window onto hopeful path forward.

Compellingly human and scientifically fascinating

I was at first a bit concerned about the title and if this book would be for me. About an hour in, I could not stop listening. This was a wonderful, entertaining, moving book. You will learn so much.

Don’t be deterred by the title!
